Did you know your pharmacy claims data may reveal the risk of opioid addiction before you realize an employee or family member needs help? In this episode of Health Action Briefing, Jesse Lisson of Covert Health joins Health Action Council to discuss how recognizing warning signs earlier can create opportunities for prevention and support.
The conversation explores how pharmacy data can help identify potential risk and prompt clinicians to support their patients. Protecting employee privacy is central to that work. Jesse discusses keeping individuals anonymous and working through their care providers so employees can receive help without feeling singled out or targeted.
The episode also considers the exceptional circumstance when someone’s life may be at stake and identifying that individual becomes necessary to connect them with urgent help. For benefits leaders, the discussion connects early intervention with employee trust and privacy. Jesse closes with a step you can take Monday morning: raise awareness of prescription opioid risk and keep the conversation focused on support.
